The Heart Brokers (1913)
Grouchy old bachelor makes his home with his sister, wealthy widow Mrs. Mary Walters. Richard becomes so grouchy that on his friends' advice, his sister decides to get him married. She calls at the office of Prof. Lover, a matrimonial agent. The professor promises to do what he can to get Richard married, but alas, all plans fail and Richard remains a bachelor. But during her visits to his office the widow has fallen in love herself--with no less than the large, handsome professor. She usually gets what she goes after, but the professor can't see things her way and rejects her suit. Too true is the saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned": Mrs. Walters opens a free matrimonial bureau next to Prof. Lover's and succeeds in taking all his clients away from him. When his money gives out and ruin stares him in the face, poor Prof. Lover, with nothing left in the world but a suit of clothes and a statue of Cupid, is glad to find the widow's offer of marriage still open to him.
